Analysis of the arabidopsis Major Facilitator Superfamily reveals a larger and more diverse group of transporters

AoS. Analysis of the arabidopsis Major Facilitator Superfamily

As sessile organisms, plants need to adapt rapidly to the environmental fluctuations they endure during their life cycle in order to survive. Upon external insults, plants activate a network of coordinated molecular responses to restore cellular equilibrium,

A new water-filled channel that transports metabolites of peroxisomes

Peroxisomes are the detoxifier of almost all nucleated cells. Their name was given in respect to their capability of eliminating reactive oxygen species like hydrogen peroxide. As round-shaped membrane enclosed vesicles, they can have variable sizes from
